LAST HOLIDAY SESSION!! SNEAK PEEK

I can finally breathe! I just finished my last holiday session!!  This is always such a crazy, busy time of the year trying to fit everyone in for their holiday session (and trying delivering their cards/orders before the actual holidays!!).  So now I can take a deep breath and concentrate on Christmas for my family and oh my-  planning a third birthday party for my sweet little girl.  Hmmm... I might even try to make a Christmas card for my own family now. 

Thank you all so much for a wonderful year!  I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful holiday!

Here are a few photos from the last holiday session.  What cute kids to end with this year!!  They were so wonderful.  COLD, but wonderful.

Enjoy!

 

 

SNEAK PEEK ~ LEXINGTON, NC SENIOR SESSIONS

While visiting beautiful Lexington, KY for Fortune Fest 2010 I have managed to edit a few of the recent senior sessions that I had in Lexington, NC.  Wow!  These seniors at SMCS are all so beautiful!  I wish I had more to show but I have been so amazed by Fortune Fest that I have not had much time to spend on my photography.  It is a wonderful feeling to be surrounded by thousands of positive, motivated people.  So inspiring!  Thanks again Susan Frank for sharing this amazing opportunity!!

Here are a few of the sneak peeks:

I'M BACK!

Wow!  After traveling for 2 weeks I am finally back in New Bern.  I think I will need another vacation after getting unpacked and caught up on so many wonderful sessions.   During my travels to Lexington and Myrtle Beach I had many sessions planned along the way.  That's right, I had to work while on vacation!

Here are just a few of my favorites!

 

After the awesome senior sessions in Lexington we then headed to Myrtle Beach for for more photos and some play time in the sand!

Then we headed home and immediately back to work again...

This sweet baby girl has changed so much since her newborn session! (click here)

MY FAVORITE FRIEND

Wow, I am so glad to be back from our long vacation to Myrtle Beach.  We had a great time seeing family and friends.  I was really glad to catch up with one of my very favorite friends, Susan.  You may remember her from an old blog post. (Click here)  Yes, she is still super busy and such a wonderful leader with Fortune (click here).  I was happy to photograph her beautiful family on the beach. It was the least I could do!  I am still so incredibly grateful to her for showing us Fortune and helping us so much. In fact, since that post about her, my husband and I did win a Lexus with the company! What a wonderful opportunity that has changed our lives in so many ways.  It hasn't just provided us with a great income, it has helped us to be extremely positive with so many negatives in this world today.  Honestly, I can say that because of this opportunity I have become a much better person in all areas of my life and I am grateful for that.  I told you she was my very favorite friend! 

Thanks for all your hard work Susan and Josh.  I hope you enjoy these photos!

 
What a beautiful, loving, Godly family!

SNEAK PEEK - SENIOR PORTRAITS

As I promised earlier this week here is the sneak peek of my niece's friend.  He was so much fun.  I don't think that he was as excited about the shoot as my niece but he ended up having a good time!

I hope you all have a fun and safe 4th!! 

LOVE, LOVE , LOVE THIS SENIOR!!

Yes, this is one beautiful, intelligent, special girl.  She is my niece!  Can you tell that I just love her??  I was so excited and honored for her to drive hours to have me shoot her senior portraits this past weekend.  I can't believe that she is going to graduate next year.  Wow! I  am starting to feel so old.  She will be graduating from the same school that I did- Sheets Memorial Christian School!  It was so great to see her and my sister.  They even brought her friend and his mother along for his senior photos.  What a long, hot weekend of photo shoots.  It was amazing, I had such a fun time with all of them. 

I told you she was beautiful!  Be sure to check back later for a sneak peek of her friend's session!

ADORABLE SISTERS!

This is a cute little 2 year old that I first met a year and a half ago. We met during her 6 month photo session that she had taken while in NC visiting her grandparents.  Wow!  She has really grown up since I saw her last.

 
I was so excited to hear from her mother again and to find out that this visit I would meet her 6 month old baby sister!!  They were so sweet together.

What a beautiful family!

SNEAK PEEK - BEACH PORTRAITS

Here are a few shots from a session at Fort Macon and the beach.  It was great to spend an evening with this family.  I really enjoyed watching these kids play!
